gown of black velvet, a shallow collar
of silver lame forming a cowl-like
neckline in front, and the long fitted
sleeves had deep cuffs of the silver
lame. She wore a shoulder spray of
white gardenias. Her attractive
daughter was in torquoise blue crepe,

black skirt and becoming black hat;
Mme. Peter had a becoming costume
of lipstick red tunic and black skirt,
with a black hat which had a mod
crate brim and a tantalising nose veil
which failed to hide the delightful
twinkle of Mme. Peter's eyes. Mrs.
Carr was in smartly tailored brown
satin gown, the tunic having gold fig
ures and her hat with narrow brim
matched the gown. Mrs. Scully wore
a crepe gown in a bright green shade
and a black velvet hat. Miss Emily
